lyrics

I’ve been proud and tight fisted
Always shifting my weight around
To have things the way I’d like them

I’ve been oddly particular
And isn’t it peculiar how
One becomes rigid and lifeless

If my days were made of dough,
I’d have kneaded them so long
They’d yield bread hard and over handled

Revising, revising till I have trouble recognizing
Who I once was, who I’m meant to be
Revive me, revive me, oh won’t you revive me, Holy One

Cause I’m tired, it’s tiring pretending
I don’t want to do it anymore
I’m a coward, it’s cowardly this acting
These tactics are exhausting, &
Costing me more than I will pay

I’ve been trying to pry open
My own white knuckled fingers as they
Greedily grip onto nothing

Moving too quickly
Speaking over wise voices
As they warn me to slow it down

Devising, devising a way to make every eye see
Exactly the way that I see
Deliver, deliver, oh won’t you deliver me, Holy One
